Question Is it Possible to Get 12s with a 3200 Stall???
Just as the title reads. I have a friend telling me I can get 12s unless I put a higher stall in there. My mods are in the sig. What do you think?
Thanks

With those mods Im surprised you havent ran 12s already? If those are your mods with a 3200 stall already. Why would you be asking that ? again about a stall that have.
But in reality that car should trap mid 12s all day with that setup and possibly even low 12s depending on wt/ driver and 60ft.

Care to share how? I guess if it was newer, in good/great weather, and lightweight it's possible. But not common or normal.

The best I've done so far with the car was a 13.2 on a hot day during the summer with the mods in my sig and shifting at 6100 rpm. I'm hoping to get 12s this time around. Only reason I asked was because that's what someone told me

You must have wheel spin slowing your time down or something is wrong.

yeah theres something amiss there.. your car shouldnt have any problems trapping 12's.... were your running bicycle tires or something ? haha

Edit: Didnt see your newest post... your 60' is pretty good.. your trap speed isnt bad either.. somethings wrong tho to cause low 13's

You should run like 12.0x if not better. Something isn't right and I would raise the shift points to 6400 rpm for a start.
